Agroforestry Accelerator Program Enrolling Entrepreneurs

The Agroforestry Coalition is partnering with the Food Finance Institute (FFI) to launch a free, six-month agroforestry business accelerator program. The Agroforestry Fellows Program (modeled on the successful FFI Food Fellows Program) will support nascent and growing agroforestry brands and processing businesses. In the Agroforestry Accelerator Program, entrepreneurs from any agroforestry-related business in the United States can work with an expert coach and peers with experience bringing new value-added products or ingredients to market. Each cohort cycle lasts six months, kicking off with FFI’s foundational agrobusiness finance course and ending with an investor pitch. During the program, learning takes place through regular virtual meetings with your cohort and one-on-one with your coach. Applications for the next cohort are due by July 25, 2025.
